I don't know much about db products other than Access, but Access is known for it's ease of use and front-end development, not as an industrial-strength product. Microsoft's answer to a need for a heavier-duty db is MS SQL Server, but the market share is with Oracle and the technical reviews generally rate Oracle as superior. Other products in the running are IBM's DB2 and Sybase's SQL Server (yeah, same name as MS's product). You might want to visit the Oracle and other forums at this site and get some feedback from people knowledgable about each product as to whether they'd think it suitable for your application.
